Random matrices are widely and successfully used in physics for almost 60-70 years, beginning with the works of Dyson and Wigner. Although it is an old subject,

Modern developments of Random Matrix Theory as well as pedagogical approaches to the standard core of the discipline are surprisingly hard to find in a well-org

At the present moment, after the success of the renormalization group in providing a conceptual framework for studying second-order phase tran sitions, we have

Random Matrix Theory and Wireless Communications is the first tutorial on random matrices which provides an overview of the theory and brings together in one so
